ROHIT SHETTY

Rohit Shetty, born on 14 March 1973 in Mumbai, is India's most commercially successful film director. The son of stunt artist M.B. Shetty, he started as a child assistant director and worked his way up through the industry with remarkable tenacity.

His signature style — flying cars, explosive action, broad comedy and emotional family drama — has made his films the most reliably bankable productions in Bollywood. He has built the Cop Universe with characters Singham, Simmba and Sooryavanshi, a first-of-its-kind shared universe in Indian cinema.

He has also established himself as a television personality through the Khatron Ke Khiladi franchise, which he has hosted for multiple seasons. His net worth places him among India's wealthiest film personalities.
